Yes...in some locations. Some bodies of water are under USCG jurisdiction, and some are under NYS Parks Marine Services Bureau. I'm good on the NYS Parks jurisdiction. As I understand it, those are lakes that do not connect to the barge canal, which essentially connects to the rest of the world (flows to the ocean).

It must be. As long as you get the certification, you're good to go. Its nice that its free. I didn't look around much for a free one. Its very possible that its the exact same course that I took thru aceboater.com and paid for...Is this the same thing?
